He said “On the flyover and the demand you made for refund, I owe you nothing. It is your road. You can’t chuckle me and make a demand. You are the one living on this road. I commend your effort. You have to lobby me to collect” Tinubu said.
Tinubu arrived Rivers State Wednesday morning to commission Rumuokwuta flyover, the 12th flyover by the administration of Governor Nyesom Wike in four years.
